As I've written plenty of times before, I like listening to sports radio while I'm working and my preference is discussions about college and pro football over anything else.
If I wanted to have ESPN and DIY we'd have to jump up to an even bigger package and this doesn't make sense for our family. It's just a waste plus a lot of what we'd get is no good for a house with small kids. And along with this I'm not interested in writing checks for hundreds of TV channels we won't watch any more than I like wasting time or throwing away building materials that can be salvaged.
Rehab Addict is a show I really like sitting down for. I love the attitude of the show and the can-do spirit of NC. Rehab Addict features my kinds of projects and the people who watch Curtis' show are the same types of DIYers that read my blog; hands-on rehabbers or people with a dream of renovating a run down home of their own.
Like Nicole C. I love the challenge of buying and resurrecting houses most others don't want and we consistently preach similar messages; we share a fondness for ignoring naysayers, we're big on salvaging and recycling things others send to the landfill, we each take pride in solving issues with our heads and stretching our dollars, and neither of us hesitates to roll up our sleeves to get down and dirty when we're the best person to knock out a task. In addition, we each have our own time tested approaches we're proud of and comfortable with. And, I think Nicole enjoys encouraging others to do what we do as much as me.
I really love to renovate run down homes and I feel like I get a little fix of my own each time I watch an episode of Rehab Addict. It's great to see someone take on their projects the way I do and I especially love the moments when my wife watches along and says, "Hey, that's what you always say."
So as much as I'm sad to see the football season end, I'm glad to have the DIY Channel back.

Rehab Addict Nicole Curtis on DIY (April 24, 2012)
The completion of Super Bowl XLVII marks the end of football season and the return of the DIY network to our house. Rehab Addict Nicole Curtis and the network that broadcasts her popular show are not two things that get considered together regularly, but around here they do because of our pay television packages. In the fall when football starts back up, we upgrade our pay channel package to include the sports channels. I only want ESPN and ESPN2, but I have to pay for ninety-eight other channels and to make things worse, they pull DIY from our list of options as part of this upgrade. We still get HGTV, but Rehab Addict is really a DIY show.
